b) political freedoms and diverse viewpoints
c) economic growth
d) military power

Explanation:

For question 3:

• In a multi - party system, there are many political parties. This can lead to coalition governments. When coalitions break down (due to differences among coalition partners), it can cause political instability and frequent changes in leadership.
• In a one - party system (A), the party has a firm grip on power, so leadership changes are more controlled. In a two - party system (B), the two major parties usually have more stability in forming governments. In a monarchy (D), leadership succession (usually hereditary) is more stable.

For question 4:

• A one - party system has a single dominant party. This lack of political competition means there are limited political freedoms (such as freedom of political association for opposition groups) and fewer diverse viewpoints (as alternative political ideologies are not represented in the same way as in a multi - party system).
• Government spending (A) is more related to fiscal policies rather than the nature of a one - party system. Economic growth (C) can occur in one - party systems (e.g., some authoritarian one - party regimes have had periods of economic growth). Military power (D) is more about a country's resources and strategies for defense and offense, not directly limited by a one - party system.

Answer:

1. C) Multi - party system
2. B) Political freedoms and diverse viewpoints
